I recently had this following fatal error on an CentOS VPS server: Loaded plugins: fastestmirror error: no dbpath has been set error: cannot open Packages database in /%{_dbpath} Traceback (most recent call last): File “/usr/bin/yum”, line 29, in ? yummain.user_main(sys.argv[1:], exit_code=True) File “/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py”, line 229, in user_main errcode = main(args) File “/usr/share/yum-cli/yummain.py”, line 84, in [...]
